It was a stupid idea, why not build it bigger and better and properly in the first place?<br />I haven't checked, but I think the works going on are to expand the expressway into a proper two way freeway. I probably should check, but since I don't drive, I haven't cared.

It does look well planned and peaceful but the traffic congestion during peak hours is horrific. Regardless of that it is still a wonderful place to live. Re the women's pioneer memorial, my mum's name is there and there is also a seat memorialised in her honour somewhere on one of the walks in King's Park. Not sure if it is still there but we have pictures of it and we were there the day the ceremony took place way back in about 1990.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-76513556761869733842013-09-01T11:12:07.050+09:302013-09-01T11:12:07.050+09:30Letting the Words Escape; thank you, it's a ve...Letting the Words Escape; thank you, it's a very well maintained city and I hope to visit there again in the not too distant future.

These images of places all so familiar.<br /><br />When hubby and I met, oh so many years ago, our first outing was to Kings Park.<br />It's such a large, unique and beautiful place.<br />When I was little, I had regular trips there.<br />My favourite spot was to sit on the grassy banks by the lovely lake with the pioneer women's memorial statue gracing the water, and the (sequential) jetting fountains.<br />I was always mesmerised, waiting for "the big jet" to shoot upwards.<br /><br />And, I loved climbing the spiralled DNA tower.<br /><br />I didn't think I would miss Perth... until now :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-12605822083526579522013-09-01T07:07:20.143+09:302013-09-01T07:07:20.143+09:30 A wonderful view of a busy place--but it all look...
